Comments on Not Short, Not Long, But, Great…Or At Least Really Good

Steve, thanks for the list, good stuff. I’m surprised that some Bill James favorites, who he has argued have HOF merits weren’t there, Willie Randolph, Bobby Grich, and Ted Simmons. And of course there are a lot of players who are in the HOF, that are listed there. One thing the HOF will never have is consistency, and the world turns, and things just aren’t always “fair”. I still go ballistic with the idea of “enhanced” players making it into the HOF to the detriment of players who were always “clean”. I guess it will be judged, IMHO, on excluding players who “juiced” to “ridiculous” levels, and the rest will get in…
